Rebirth of the Viking King

Loki sat in the dim government hall, his fingers gently touching his eyebrows, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Jerome and Gelin were both people who knew his living habits. They knew that he was deep in thought at this time, so they didn't say anything. The three of them sat in three corners of the government hall, and Katya led the guards to guard the door loyally.

Hanshui Village returned to silence in the middle of the night.

(Although Bernard, this old guy, may be cunning and cunning, he has never been a stupid person. When foreign enemies invade, his lips will die and his teeth will be cold. It is impossible for him to not understand such a simple truth.

Knowing that the province next door has been reduced to porridge, yet he did not move an inch. Could this old guy want to surrender to the enemy? )

In Loki's eyes, Duke Bernard had at least two reasons for surrendering to the enemy.

1. There is indeed no army in the river valley that can rival Bakan Bush.

Most of the Viking warriors in Storm's End have followed Gustavus to Slavic raids. At this time, the total number of troops left behind in the river valley was less than 2,000. This kind of force was simply unable to fight against the 20,000 Slavic slave laborers in the hands of Bakanbusi.

Even if they summon the vassals and bring all the troops to Storm's End to defend the city. As long as Buckanbush continued to launch wars day and night, Storm's End could only hold on for 10 days at most. Because 2,000 people defending the city means there is almost no rotation. And 10 days is the limit for ordinary people to stay awake.

When they are too weak to lift their weapons, the walls of Storm's End, no matter how strong they are, will inevitably be breached.

2. Changing flags has only advantages and no disadvantages for Duke Bernard at this time.

The fiefdom token of Storm's End is in my hands, just like the house I live in, whose property rights are in the hands of others. Under such circumstances, he would feel on pins and needles every day living in Storm's End. And launching a war against me will greatly weaken the strength of the river valley.

Bernard, an old guy, urgently needs a new lord to reshape the order of the river valley. In this way, he can take back the Prancing Horse and completely occupy Storm's End with a new set of rules. He could even try to take the salt farm in Blood Pigeon Town into his own hands.

His motives are not difficult to tease out. But all this is due to one major premise: the Vikings must lose.

From Loki's point of view, this is also not easy.

At this time, an army of 10,000 Vikings was plundering the Slavic lands. Once they realize that this is a "home change" operation, as long as they get on the longship and return to Scandinavia, the 10,000 Slavic slaves under Bakanbusch will melt like foam in the sun.

After all, it was okay for slaves to revolt and bully the women and children who stayed behind. But it is not realistic to fight against the brutal Vikings.

Unless the Vikings won't be back for a while.

Or Bernard knew that even if the army returned, they would not be able to defeat him!

At this moment, Loki secretly glanced at Ge Lin, who was wearing gold and silver. During the time he returned to the village, he had already heard the story of the bloodbath in Mercia in Blood Pigeon Town. A renewed worry couldn't help but arise in my heart.

(Is it possible that the merchants in the English Isles joined forces with the Slavs?)

The prosperous scenes of Lindy Justice Abbey and the Yorkshire city were still clearly engraved in his mind. Among the seven countries in England, Northumbria, which has relatively mediocre national power, can build such wealthy churches and towns. There is no doubt that the seven countries on the archipelago that rely on maritime trade are all economically powerful.

If they temporarily united because of a pirate invasion

Loki couldn't help but think of the Lighthouse Kingdom in his previous life.

During World War II, our country might have been able to bite off a chunk of its flesh when the "Lighthouse of Democracy" was caught off guard, but once this beast with extremely developed national power awakened, it would shift its economic focus from developing people's livelihood to waging war. This book is simply unable to resist the powerful national power of the "Lighthouse of Democracy".

It has nothing to do with "Odin" or "The Chosen One". The essence of war is always related to "gold coins", but simply discusses "gold coins" and "the ability to produce gold coins"

England's 7 nations are enough to crush the Vikings.

(If there were GDP in this era, the GDP of these seven countries would be at least 10 times greater than the seven Viking provinces.)

These seven countries have spent decades in the cradle of free trade. It wasn't until Rocky made his first pot of gold when he crossed west that Blood Pigeon Town gambled on the country's fortunes and plundered them again. The cradle was finally broken. The 7 awakened English nations want to counterattack the Vikings

It seems that contacting their mortal enemy "Slavs" in the east is the perfect way!

One party provides money and the other party provides people. Once the two sides unite, the huge power of 1+1=11 will explode.

**

In the darkness, Loki twirled his fingers and slowly figured out the hidden logic behind this conspiracy. He finally realized that he had inadvertently pushed a seemingly insignificant domino that had now caused a series of subsequent butterfly effects!

Since completing the time travel, he has always regarded himself as a "wise man" and believed that all the illiterate Viking lords around him were fools.

In fact, they are not stupid.

For a long time, they have believed in the most primitive and simple "robber logic": robbers only rob the poor.

Because the poor will not resist.

Once greed makes enemies everywhere, the robber must bear the consequences of "greed". And now, it's time for the Vikings to pay the price for hundreds of years of plunder.

(If I were a British person and I was a maritime civilization, I would definitely find a way to destroy the pirates' ships! This is not difficult for a maritime civilization to do. The pirates guarding the ships are all on the shore, and the longships are docked in the sea. Throwing fuel and torches from the sea can easily burn longships made of wood.

If the Viking pirates on the east coast of the Baltic Sea can't come back for a while, then the situation will be changed. The cunning British must want to take advantage of the time when Bakambusch and the Viking troops have run out of ammunition and food. Log in with an absolutely superior force and seize the greatest victory possible.

If I were British, I would definitely do this! )

This shows that in addition to the more than 20,000 Slavic slave rebels, we will also face an unknown number of English troops in the near future! This army will drift from the other side of the North Sea and will most likely land in the valley at the southernmost tip of Scandinavia.

The landing place is most likely Hanshui Village!

If Bernard gathered his vassals to resist Barkan Bush at Storm's End, they would land at Coldwater Village silently, and then, under attack from both sides, Storm's End would be crushed like an egg.

The choice Duke Bernard made was not wrong!

This war has no chance of winning and cannot be fought!
